If a quizz is quizzical, what is a test?

Out of interest, do you lads and lasses make your own staffs? Or do you buy them online somewhere?



Mines from a local circus ship, was around �30, comes up to my eye. I added a little more weight to the ends, and I am thinking I needed to replace the grip - as the strange leather material is a bit crumbly and pants.



But all the staffs I see seem to have cushion grip around about 3/4s if the staff, where as my grip only seems to over about 20cms in the middle.



Oh, totally got the Conveyor Belt to Jesus transition, so I'm happy.

Got the SneS, bit wobbly at the halo roll. (Read: very wobbly)

And Fishtails are still a mystery to me.



But I'm slowly getting there... just need to practice more.

Most of us make our own sticks, yeah.

the grip is usually hocky or golf club grip, its squishy and grippy

check the toys forum for many designs i think .



On a side note, im outta ideas some one come and show me some stuff, or am i gonna have to haul ass to guildford? :P

Confound these fishtails!!!



I'm still going with the glue-idea.



On a brighter note, I got the SneS.

I'm slow, I know.

That's the basics nailed, with the addition of the Jesus.

Time to start learning the real stuff I guess!

3 staff cascade qualify with 1 beat of columns too

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

Nay, whatever comes one hour was sunlit and the most high gods may not make boast of any better thing than to have watched that hour as it passed

man i aint been in here a while it seems.......

for the first time in weeks i went out for a play last night and came up with a little matrix / conveyor variation:

Matrix - come under right armpit, put hands together to wrap elbows (underside) as it comes around onto left, then onto right elbow (elbow, elbow transfer) turn so it falls onto your neck, either into continuous turning elbow things........ or back to matrix...... or wherever the flow takes you......

Tiz nice and has made me want to play lots again

"...We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing......."

Nice!

I've manage to do ONE matrix, when I wasn't really trying. Haven't managed it since! How well practice... The I'll try that one!

Conveyour belt pivot - frontside neckroll - half lucero (I think) - pivot - jesus




This was yours I believe! I think, is that sequence right or did I miss something oh Mr Guru?

Splendidness....

Good to hear it...



Meg visited here recently and I discovered, to my horror, that instead of a full Steve, as I'd thought I'd learned, I was actually doing a bad half-Steve.

After much mocking, she finally showed me both ways.



But I still can't do it.

Getting to the other side

Don't worry Clare, it took me a good few months to get the hang of them...



I trust her to whip you into shape at Uberparis...

Don't worry about the mocking either, it's either that or pulling on your pigtails...



(hmmmm, I need to make up a move and call it the 'Pigtail' )

I got that one tuesday with steve catches

oh yeah and steve throw to catch into a steve (nice way to finish a steve burn-off)

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

Not sure if its that new (think meg might have done it at some point) but horizontal kick ups from right foot, round the back to catch on left foot and repeat.

Also figured out a new groundwork move the other day, from turning SNES /Halo crouch down and drop right shoulder so the staff rolls onto right knee. Roll back on the floor and the staff wraps right knee then wraps left knee and you catch the staff back onto your left shoulder. Dunno what to call it yet but it feels like its gonna have quite a few variations.
